Tree House Orchard & Farm Fermentory

December 16, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

By The Time They Got to Woodstock... Tree House Orchard & Farm Fermentory, Woodstock October 2022 I'm at a bit of a loss here. On the one hand, there's too much for me to say about Tree House The Company but on the other hand, I want to keep this page relatively simple and clean. That's how this outpost of the … [Read more...]

East Coast Cidery

October 17, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Why? East Coast Cidery, Enfield September 2022 It crossed my mind for about two seconds to drive up to Enfield to "visit" East Coast Cidery. But only for two seconds. There would be no point in my doing so. East Coast Cidery is the third business borne from Powder Hollow Brewing, and I've been to the location … [Read more...]

Bushy Hill Cidery at Clark Farms

October 5, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Gridlock in Granby?! Bushy Hill Cidery at Clark Farms, Granby September 2022 "Go to Clark Farms" they said. "It's cute," I was promised. "Quiet little out-of-the-way country store atmosphere," was the pitch. Yes, I'm friends with a few Granby residents. One has taught and worked with my older son for years. I … [Read more...]

Spoke + Spy Ciderworks

October 29, 2019 by Steve 2 Comments

Oh Rats Spoke + Spy Ciderworks, Middletown April 2019 Before you read this page, know this: when it comes to hard cider, I’m not that smart. Years ago, I’d say I just didn’t like them. Then I had some really good ciders from some really good cideries and suddenly I liked a few really good ciders. When I read … [Read more...]

New England Cider Company

January 8, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Location is BeCides the Point New England Cider Company, Wallingford February 2018 It’s amazing what one can find in faceless corrugated steel and cinder block rows of businesses on a road full of such things in Wallingford. Sure, you can find ambulance chasing law firms and restaurant supply stores and small … [Read more...]

Stafford Cidery

August 14, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Cockamamie Stafford Cidery, Stafford August 2017 I don’t know where to begin or what to write on this page. I guess the very most important thing is that I know NOTHING about cider. The alcoholic and carbonated version of cider, anyway. As of today, Connecticut has two cideries that produce this type of booze – … [Read more...]

Hogans Cider Mill

February 19, 2011 by Steve Leave a Comment

I’m Mulling This One Over Hogans Cider Mill, Burlington October 31, 2010 I’m conflicted. You know I love long-lasting local businesses who use local goods. And who wouldn’t love a century-old cider mill on a perfect fall day in north central Connecticut? Apparently, that would be me. Back when I put … [Read more...]

There are some pictures from a 2013 as well. Since you were wondering, no, I haven’t used this title before. Over at the oldest operational cider … [Read more...]

Breweries, Brewpubs & Cideries

June 9, 2009 by Steve 17 Comments

Beer. And Lots Of It I began this particular page in 2008 when there were four breweries in Connecticut: Cottrell, Hooker, New England, and Olde Burnside. Only one had a tasting room (Hooker) and each was pumping out only a handful of beers. There were a few brewpubs operating as well. And we only had five … [Read more...]
